Place batter onto parchment paper and smooth out into desired shape and size.Lower oven to 250 and bake for about an hour or until pavlova is set; make sure the pavlova isn’t cracking or turning a tan color. If the pavlova starts to crack or change colors, lower oven temperature just a bit.

TIPS FOR MAKING A PERFECT MEREINGUE:To ensure that your meringue batter is ready to go in the oven, take a teaspoonful of batter and rub in between your fingers. If the batter feels smooth it is ready to go in the oven. If the batter still feels grainy (from the sugar) beat a few minutes longer.

Make sure your beating bowl is completely dry and clean. Any grease or water will prevent egg whites from beating properly. Leave eggs at room temperature for at least twenty minutes before beating the meringues.
